Hamilton Alabama Medium Pile Roller Set 9" & Extension Pole (6 Piece)

Hamilton Alabama - For The Trade 6 Piece Medium Pile Roller Set 9" &  Short Extension Pole 640-900mm
The Hamilton Alabama, trade-oriented painting kit from Hamilton's "For The Trade" (FTT) range, designed for interior walls and ceilings on smooth to semi-smooth surfaces.

What's Included (Standard 6-Piece Roller Set)
3 × 9" (228mm) medium pile roller sleeves — PolyBlend (warp knitted) fabric for good paint pick-up, quick/even coverage, reduced spatter, and a smooth finish. 1.75" core for maximum paint loading. Easy to clean; heat-fused to the core so they won't unwind.
1 × 9" cage frame (5-wire cage for secure fit) with plastic grip handle. Compatible with screw-fit extension poles.
1 × 9" roller tray — Ridged/raised pattern for easier rolling off excess paint; made from 100% recycled material.
1 x The Short Extension Pole (640-900mm) is typically sold separately but pairs perfectly with the frame. It features Hamilton's POZLOCK® positive locking system (non-twist, secure length adjustment) and works with screw-fit (and often push-fit) frames. Ideal for internal walls, ceilings, stairs, and other hard-to-reach spots without a full ladder.

Best Uses
Emulsion paints (water-based) and similar on smooth/semi-smooth interior surfaces (walls, ceilings).
Medium pile suits most standard domestic/commercial jobs — holds plenty of paint for efficient coverage while laying off smoothly with minimal texture.
Not ideal for very rough/masonry surfaces (use long pile or dedicated masonry sleeves) or ultra-smooth/gloss work (short pile might be better).

Key Features & Benefits
Good value for trade/DIY users who need reliable performance without premium pricing.
Low spatter, quick coverage.
Easy-clean components.
Frame and pole extend reach comfortably for ceilings/walls.

Tips for Best Results
Before first use, dampen your hand and run it over new sleeves to remove loose lint.
After use, clean thoroughly with water (or appropriate solvent), stand sleeves on end to dry — don’t submerge or leave soaking.
The frame works with other Hamilton poles if you need longer reach later.

This kit is popular for reliable everyday decorating among multi-skilled tradespeople and keen DIYers. Hamilton's For The Trade range sits between basic and their higher-end Perfection/Prestige lines — solid quality for the price.
